Jefferson fought the Barbary pirates - they were muslims! I don’t think he exactly squared with the muslim faith.

But he did host the envoy, and change the dinner schedule to meet the Ramadan requirement.

I believe it was a “to Serve Man” type of confusion when Obama read Jefferson served Muslims.
